Here you'll find drumming clowns, soldiers, monkeys, robots, rabbits and more. They all get wound up and... do a little drumming. That's all. I'm not a toy historian or expert, or anything like that. I just happen to love wind-up drummer toys. Maybe just cause I'm a drummer and, sure, I get wound up every now and again...

Obviously some of these toys embody, to varying degrees, offensive racial stereotypes. My including them in this collection should in no way be seen as any kind of personal endorsement of said stereotypes. But leaving them out of the collection would serve no purpose beyond ignoring historical reality, which, ideally, we should all be aware of, in my humble opinion.

Note: some of these might actually be pull toys or crank toys or battery operated toys. But the majority of them are wind-ups.

Oh, one more thing: I want to hear these all together.

It's a duet! I came across this on Flickr, and the uploader kindly agreed to my including it here. Here's the original Flickr page.

That's it for page two, on to page three?And did you miss page one of Wind-up Drummer Toys? See HERE !
